OK this might just be me, but does anyone see what looks to be a black chip a tiny bit under Meghan's left hand? Does that look like the Amazing Race thingy? (I can't think of the word right now...ugggggggh long day!!)

VegasSinner, when I mentioned downloading a map of the MGM in the thread you created this summer, you mentioned something about the sky towers. I bring this up because if Brian And Ericka are taking an elevator, it could be coming down from the sky towers where they recieve the roadblock clue.

Yes I did mention that because one of my contacts at the MGM told me that they meet Wayne Newton in the Sky Towers part of the MGM or the Signature part. She wasn't sure. Now on the scenes from next week, I noticed they're at Shenendoah, that's Waynes Ranch. I've been there many moons ago, it's off the strip near the airport. But I didn't see Wayne in the clip. So maybe he meets them at the MGM first, then sends them to do stuff at Man Bay then they go to his ranch.

The elevator could be in the Mandalay bay too, that's where it appears they rapel off the side.

I think it looks like a face. Which would agree well with the idea of this task being a memory challenge.

Some of the yellow chips also have numbers on them. That could go well with a number-related memory challenge that Joab brought up.

(The picture you posted above was much bigger and you can really see numbers on it!)

Sorry puddin, can't view the previews for next week as there's country restrictions.

But besides the shot above which shows Meghan counting away with the chips.. are there any other shots which shows the chips clearly? At least, the top of the chip.

The yellow chips on the shot above definitely contained DIFFERENT numbers on it. The one on the most bottom left shows 225(?) while some chips next to it shows other values on it.

And this brings me to a daring speculation, that teams have to find the chips with numbers on it (most of the chips will not contain numbers) and stack them up and get the correct value for each corresponding colour. I'm skeptical about it being a memory challenge but more of a "perseverence" challenge as if the producers wants to make this task a little more evil, only one side of the chips will have numbers on it.

Imagine if team members have to gather EVERY yellow, red, blue, green and maybe even other colours chips with numbers on it, then count it correctly to get the correct value. Worst of all, all the chips will contain different values on it?

It can prove to be a very disastrous challenge if a team member just miss out ONE chip with numbers on it accidentally. Teams can even get stuck here for hours i believe.

Or either way, they need to complete a task somewhat similar to the task i've described above.. just different variations to it maybe. Perhaps it may after all be related to a memory task, for example the red chips might represent the 1000 license plate on the first leg and team members have to find EVERY single red chip with 1000 value on it and then stack it in order and find out how many red chips they found and vice versa. If the team member actually stacked up red chips with other values on it.. then they will be completely wrong?

No idea.. but this may be exciting to watch!!

The inner roadgeek in me has been bothered by those big green guide signs in the photo of Meghan/Cheyne in the taxi. The left big, green sign states, "I-15 NORTH, SALT LAKE" and the right one is "I-15 SOUTH, LOS ANGELES". There is also a black-letters-on-yellow-background, "suggested speed limit" sign for the ramp which looks to be "20 MPH". The way the big green signs are situated tells me that the ramp for Los Angeles is the first one you encounter, then the one for Salt Lake is after it, and both are only accessible from the right lane since they're perched together. There's a brick-like wall below the two big green signs which matches the brick-like wall in Meghan/Cheyne's taxi clip.

The only place I could find (using Google Street View) is Spring Mountain Road.

Meghan/Cheyne are heading WEST on Spring Mountain, and they are on the WEST side of I-15.

VegasSinner tells us that Elvis sings Amazing Grace, some teams might chime in I have a video to put up, Ericka is moving at the chip table which is set up in the corner.The Vegas/CBS thing might be tied in with the new Amazing Race slot machines.
